About this listen

THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES #3

The third instalment in a gripping and atmospheric crime series set on a small island where there is no escape . . .

‘Gripping, clever and impossible to put down' Erin Kelly

INTRUDERS HERE ARE BOUND TO DIE . . .

As the sun sets on a cold November evening, the tiny community of St Agnes prepares for their annual Fifth-of-November festivities. Moments before the fireworks are scheduled to commence, an islander discovers a charred body left on the bonfire, and quickly it becomes clear that a killer is at large.

Ben Kitto is the Deputy Chief of Police for the Scilly Isles, and with a killer on the loose, he has no choice but to forbid all residents from leaving the island. With a population of just eighty people, everyone is a suspect and no one is safe.

When threats start appearing, written in the old Cornish language, Ben suspects that the killer’s motive is to rid the island of the newcomers who threaten their traditions. With time running out, Ben hurries to discover the secrets of the island’s peculiar residents, but he knows it’s only a matter of time before another fire is started . . .

No place to run.
No place to hide.

Have enjoyed previous books but this was absolutely ridiculous! Narration was good as always! Incredibly disappointing!

This DI is an idiot

Repeat this line umpteen times, along with some musing about the lead's cluelessness, until someone exposits the entire, implausible explanation in the final chapter. There, now you don't have to read this dross.
